Unrepairable Love
Chapter 224
โMs. Carter, please let me go home. Iโm really fine now!โ Elizabeth begged Amanda, clutching her arm.
Amanda glanced at Elizabethโs medical report and sighed. โItโs not up to me. Mr. York wonโt allow it. My hands are tied!โ
Elizabeth slumped onto the bed, pouting. โI want to get back to work. I love my job, Ms. Carter. Canโt you understand?โ
Amanda chuckled. Elizabeth followed Amanda into the operating room every day, working tirelessly, yet still got criticized. Did she really love her job?
โAlright, Iโll talk to Mr. York,โ Amanda said, patting Elizabethโs head.
Elizabeth instantly perked up. โCan I see Linda?โ she asked.
Amanda nodded. โSure.โ
Elizabeth quickly changed her shoes and followed Amanda to see Linda. Linda was still in critical condition in the ICU. Terryโs stab wound was deep, and he had pulled the knife out after stabbing her. Elizabeth looked at the frail Linda and remembered how she shielded her from the knife. Despite being so thin and scared of Terry, Linda was brave when it mattered.
Elizabeth thought about how she had followed the kidnapper for Alexander. Actually, she was terrified of pain. She had been pampered by her parents and never faced hardship. But when she was stabbed and thrown into the sea, she didnโt make a sound. All she could think about was Alexander being alive.
In Linda, Elizabeth saw herself. She had already lost, so she couldnโt let Linda lose too. Elizabeth was determined to help Linda recover.

โMs. Carter, Iโll cover all of Lindaโs expenses,โ Elizabeth said.
Amanda nodded. โI know. Weโll perform heart surgery once her condition stabilizes.โ
Just then, Elizabethโs phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Elizabeth answered, โHello?โ
โMs. Percy, weโre from the Lisbon Police Department,โ the voice said.
Elizabethโs expression changed.
Amanda was curious. โWhat happened?โ
โThe police said Terry is charged with intentional injury and might be sentenced,โ Elizabeth said, looking at Amanda.
โThatโs great. He deserves it. If Terry goes to prison, we can focus on treating Linda,โ Amanda said, smiling. โItโs all fateโs arrangement!โ
Elizabeth and Amanda looked at Linda on the hospital bed. Amandaโs words echoed in Elizabethโs mind. It was all fateโs arrangement. Elizabeth thought about her attempts to divorce Alexander. Each time was harder than the last. Was their inability to divorce also fateโs arrangement?
At that moment, Linda, who had been in a coma, moved her fingers. Amanda was surprised. โSheโs awake!โ
Elizabeth stepped forward as Amanda went to call the doctor. Linda slowly opened her eyes. Her fingers moved again, and she smiled weakly at Elizabeth. Elizabeth smiled back. They had been through life and death together.
โLinda, rest well,โ Elizabeth said.
Linda nodded weakly, her eyes fixed on Elizabeth. To Linda, Elizabeth was her savior, the light in Lindaโs dark life, telling her to live strong.
